Sign Up Online!

Phantom Regiment's sixth annual Fall Marching Band Festival presented by King Ultimate Series Marching Brass will be held on Saturday, September 20, 2008 at Harlem High School in Machesney Park, Illinois.

The Phantom Regiment Fall Marching Band Festival attracts some of the finest marching bands in Illinois, Wisconsin and Iowa. Sponsored by King Ultimate Series Marching Brass and held in partnership with the Harlem High School Marching Band, this festival is designed to give high school students a positive place to perform, compete and be rewarded for their efforts.

Along with different classes based on band size,there is a non-competitive festival class. Even if your band does not march a field show, there's still a place for you to perform here! We want to give every school and their ensemble a chance to perform.

The instant feedback feature of the Regiment's Band Fest allows the students, directors, instructors, band parents and supporters a chance to view their show right after they perform. At the same time, they get "instant feedback" from some of the best instructors and designers in the country. Instant feedback has been given in the past by Paul Rennick (pictured to the left), Dwight Emmert, Dr Stephen Steele, Eric Sabach, Tony Hall, Dr Mark Ponzo, and Dr Dan Richardson. Every band gets the instant feedback if they so choose.

This 2008 festival date is September 20, 2008. If you would like to register your band for this years event - sign up here. Bands that register and pay before the date of our drum corps show - Show of Shows - can receive 10 FREE tickets to that show.
